Super glue has a couple of useful properties...
1) rather than "cratering" in to a hole when dry, it builds "up" , so it can then be sanded flat without too much being taken off the surrounding original lacquer
2) it dries matte but clear, and can be polished, much the same way as most acrylics, like perspex etc... finer and finer grade papers, then using a cutting compound like t-cut, followed by a finer metal polishing variant, like brasso.
it can also be coloured, if desired.... although for a metallic finish, i'd normally try and match the base coat in the base of the scratch , then fill the top with superglue in clear form, rather than trying to mix paint and glue...
